You need to send your data to some kind of server side code (Eg. PHP).
>From your code, you are sending data to a text file. A text file has
no idea what to do with the data you are sending it (Actually, the
text file doesn't even see the data - text files are very
unintelligent as files go) so does nothing. Your code does exactly
what you told it to. It made the request to load the file. Once the
request is made the complete event fires and you get your message.
What you need is some form of server to run code on. What server do
you have?
